I mean, I kinda get it. I've seen this in other places where characters will "downplay" themselves and their own relatives in regards to their guests to make themselves more humble. I get it.

But it gets to a point where it becomes degrading. Especially when she has been part of their family for some time now and it just comes off as if "oh, you are just going to trade up anyways from my worthless son."

:questionblob: his family is uhh... quite something.
first his brother tried to get his wife by downplaying him and now the mom treat's him like a no good deadbeat.
i sure hope the father is decent at least...

I would've assumed that she would've wormed her way into the family's good graces way before marriage, even tho i guess she found out where he worked and joined the company lol (wouldn't be surprised if the father's passed away and the mom projected expected responsibilities onto the sons)

But her deciding to not have a ceremony and such might also come off as Yoshino probably having ulterior motives or so as well

Be concerning if she was some 'boymom' and wouldn't approve no matter who his partner was/ended up being a mothercon but that's a whole diff story, but i wonder if it'd be diff in other countries or simply families that are more pushing towards marriages to the point that they'd do set up/arranged marriages

Am I misremembering? Isn't the guy trying to get his wife his co worker not his brother?

The ulterior motive is "I don't want my husband's family negging him during what should be one of the happiest days of our lives." These people are fucking insufferable and I'm expecting Naotsugu's father to either try to fuck Yoshino very publicly during the ceremony or try to get them to call it off and physically separate them because of his deep and violent shame in his son.

Nao fuked it by not talking about it privately with Yoshino first.
That kinda thing should ultimately be their private affair no matter how collective one's culture is.

Well they’re already married so a post ceremony shouldn’t be too bad but I guess I’d passive aggressively invite everyone cept the parents/family if they’re acting this way, idk if Yoshinos family is still alive (she was living with her grandma early on to commute? But I imagine they might also object to marry someone with an age gap even tho it’s common for woman tho Mc is just a “normal” salaryman as opposed to a ceo) but hopefully she can be more direct like “if you can’t be respectful/accept us we won’t allow you to be in the ceremony”

Yknow, Nao's poor self esteem is starting to make sense now.
Jesus, Yoshino!
I felt the heat of that burn from light-years away!
I literally exclaimed "ooh!" when she dropped that line. Soooo good.
